Question about mounts and character x-fer

Post by Asmodeanwot

If I earned the Chopper and Sandstone drake on a character (sometime in early Cataclysm) will they transfer over with my character to another account? Blizzard is ridiculously vague with their FaQ and I can't seem to find a good answer. A simple clear-up would be greatly appreciated

Here is what the FAQ states:

What happens to my pets and mounts if I transfer a character to another Battle.net account?

Battle.net account-wide pets and mounts will remain on the original Battle.net account. Characters transferred off a Battle.net account will lose access to that Battle.net account's account-wide pets and mounts, but will gain access to whatever pets and mounts are on the destination account.Note: Character-specific mounts such as the Warlock Dreadsteed, Paladin Charger, and Gladiator mounts will transfer with the character.

So IF you are moving the character from one Battle.net to another Battle.net the only mounts that will stay on that character will be the ones that are NOT shared account wide. The Mekgineer's Chopper and the Vial of the Sands ARE shared account wide, so those mounts would remain on the original Battle.net account where they are shared and will continue to be available to the toons on that Battle.net.

To be clear, you can transfer your toon from server to server and faction to faction without losing those two mounts on the SAME Battle.net, however, once you remove that toon from the OLD Battle.net the mounts are no longer available to that toon. If you have account wide mounts on the NEW Battle.net, the toon that moved to the NEW Battle,net will be able to access those mounts.

I hope that helps :)

Also, in case you are merely moving the character from one WoW account to a new one in the same Battle.net account, mounts are already shared across the whole Battle.net account, not just the WoW account.
